Those are the best shoes, ever! They have become an integral part of my shaping. I can't even pick up a planer without wearing those shoes...my arm gets weak, my sight blurry...soon, I just have to stop and put on the super magic best ever shaping shoes! I so wish I was selling a line of ratty shoes like that so I could start spamming 'em.

Tired of women always hitting on you? Then you need to slip on a pair of Super Magic Ratty Shaper's Shoes (tm), guaranteed to keep those pesky babes away!

I watched the video and your board definitely has some flex to it. I wonder if it would snap if you did the same test Jeff did in the photo he posted? I wonder how excessive flex translates in wakesurfing? Could too much flex in the middle "bog" the board down or could you use it as a spring so to speak or does it really matter to the average weekend rider?

Matt E poses a good question. Excessive flex (and I've built some that qualify) creates extra rocker and effectively slows the board down, especially noticeable to occassional riders. NO flex is the best option for occassional riders.

For performance, it's not really the "flex" that is important, it's the spring back.
